Draft pupil and adult rules

Use How2Revise to practise honestly and safely.

These short rules and the fuller adult layer are candidates for a future parent-owned account. They are not yet an effective account policy.

Draft candidate—pending qualified UK review.

The final rules, enforcement process and appeal path require UK legal, safeguarding, privacy and child-comprehension review. Today's public website continues to be governed by the public website terms. This text is not an approved account, subscription, privacy, cancellation, acceptable-use, copyright, complaints, safety or security policy, is not legal advice and is not accepted anywhere in the current service. Parent accounts, paid pupil profiles, checkout, real uploads and pupil-facing AI remain closed. See the legal and trust status for the documents that apply to today's public preview.

Short rules for pupils

Use How2Revise to practise. Be honest, kind and safe. Do not share private information, passwords or whole books. Do not use it to cheat, harm someone, contact another pupil, break security or create illegal content. Tell a trusted adult if something worries you. You can report a problem without losing your right to help.

Use the service for revision practice

A future account would let one pupil whose parent made the 13–16 setup declaration practise a revision method with lawful material they already have. It would not be an answer-writing, marking or pupil-messaging service. The adult account holder would be responsible for keeping the account secure and helping the pupil understand these rules.

Do not use it to

  • submit AI output as homework, coursework, an exam answer or another person's work;
  • upload a whole book, exam paper, mark scheme, paid resource, confidential school document or material you have no right to use;
  • share a full name, address, exact school, phone number, password, card detail or unnecessary private information;
  • create, seek or distribute sexual content involving a child, grooming content, threats, self-harm encouragement, doxxing, harassment, hate or other unlawful or seriously harmful material;
  • try to contact or identify another pupil through the service;
  • introduce malware, steal credentials, probe another person's account, bypass safety controls or disrupt the service;
  • scrape, resell, copy or republish the service or its protected content as a commercial product or dataset;
  • share an account or use the one pupil profile for another pupil; or
  • misrepresent How2Revise as an exam board, school, teacher, counsellor or guaranteed route to a grade.

Checking and reporting

An AI suggestion can be wrong. A pupil should check the original material or ask a teacher, and use the report route when a revision path is unsafe, inappropriate or clearly wrong. A report must not be used to punish the pupil, train a general model or pressure the family to keep paying.

Proportionate action

The proposed response would depend on seriousness and context: a clear warning or correction for a minor mistake, a limited feature restriction where needed, and account suspension only for serious or repeated risk. Decisions would be recorded, minimise child data, consider the child's best interests and offer an adult or pupil a human challenge where lawful and safe. The final process must not rely only on an automated classifier.

Privacy help, a complaint route and emergency or safeguarding signposts would remain available even if an account or feature were restricted. A pupil would not be shamed, threatened with a lost streak or denied help to pressure compliance.

Immediate safety help

How2Revise is not an emergency service. If anyone is in immediate danger in the UK, call 999. A child or young person can contact Childlinefree on 0800 1111. Read the safeguarding page.

Questions and appeals

The support and legal addresses are delivery-tested, but monitored human handling is not yet verified, so public email routes remain closed. Write to ECOMMERCE ONLINE LTD, 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, United Kingdom, WC1N 3AX, marked “Acceptable use”, using only the minimum information. The complaints page describes the unapproved future human-review route.

Approval still required

Qualified reviewers must settle prohibited-content boundaries, evidence retention, child-safe notice, suspension thresholds, human appeal, law-enforcement handling and the relationship with the final subscription terms. This candidate has no effective date and cannot be enforced as a future account policy.
